Kansa Tools for Facial Massage

Kansa facial massage, known in Ayurveda as part of Mukha Abhyanga, is a traditional practice of using smooth bronze tools to massage the face and stimulate facial marma points. The practice is gentle, rhythmic, and always performed with a facial oil or serum to allow the tool to glide smoothly across the skin.

Art of Vedas offers three types of Kansa face tools, each designed for a different approach. The Kansa Wand (Double Sided) is the most versatile, the large dome covers cheeks, forehead, and jawline, while the smaller end is sized for the under-eye area, temples, and brow. The Mini Kansa Wand is designed specifically for precise marma point work around the eyes and nasolabial folds. The Kansa Gua Sha offers a flat, contoured shape for sweeping sculpting strokes along the jawline and cheekbones.

Kansa Wand vs Gua Sha — How to Choose & Use

Art of Vedas offers three main types of Kansa facial tools: the Kansa Wand (a dome-tipped tool for circular massage), the Mini Kansa Wand (a smaller version designed for the eye area and precise marma point work), and the Kansa Gua Sha (a flat, contoured tool for sweeping sculpting strokes). All are hand-cast from traditional Kansa bronze.

Kansa is a traditional Indian alloy of copper and tin, used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic practice and Indian households. In Sanskrit texts, it is called "the bell metal" due to its use in temple bells and singing bowls. Ayurveda values Kansa for its smooth texture against the skin and its traditional association with balancing the body's energies.

After each use, wipe the tool with a soft, dry cloth to remove oil residue. For deeper cleaning, use a mixture of lemon juice and salt, gently rub the surface, then rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Kansa naturally develops a patina over time — this is normal. Regular cleaning restores the original golden sheen.

It is recommended to always use the Kansa Wand with a facial oil or serum. The oil provides necessary glide so the tool moves smoothly across the skin without pulling or friction. Using it on dry skin may feel uncomfortable and could cause irritation.

A Kansa Wand is made from a metal alloy (copper and tin) and uses a dome-shaped tip for circular, targeted massage movements, particularly around marma points. A jade roller is a stone tool with a rolling mechanism for linear strokes. The techniques, materials, and traditional origins are different — Kansa tools come from the Ayurvedic tradition of India, while jade rollers have roots in Chinese wellness practices.
